The opening of the Three Kingdoms is Gatling

After the solid bullet hits the standing ship, it can directly penetrate the hull!

And the explosive bomb filled with gunpowder will explode directly, and the whole ship will be ignited instantly!

In just less than a cup of tea, the Jiangdong navy lost more than a dozen warships!

Looking at a warship next to Feiyun, it was hit by two shells, sawdust flew around in an instant, and everything on the deck was turned into ruins!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu at a loss,

"Captain, what... what should we do?"

Looking at Jiangdong's most proud warship, so vulnerable, Zhou Yu's heart seemed to be bleeding.

He gritted his teeth,

"Adjust the sail immediately, retreat!"

It is too difficult to get close to the enemy ship right now.

I'm afraid that before I get close to them, my warship will be lost!

So Zhou Yu could only be ruthless and ordered to retreat!

The frightened people did not dare to continue to attack, and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

It's just that they went smoothly when they attacked, but it was not so smooth when they turned back.

Gan Ning's artillery continued to roar, until the shells in the warship were almost squandered, and then stopped the pursuit.

Looking at the Jiangdong navy fleeing in a panic, Gan Ning couldn't help but smile.

The warship cannon invented by the lord is really awesome!

……

Zhou Yu retreated all the way upstream, and didn't stop until he was sure that the Huaxiong Navy troops would not pursue any more.

After counting, there were only dozens of Jiangdong navy ships left!

Those warships are very few.

Such a tragic result almost didn't make everyone cry.

Zhou Yu sat on the bow of the ship in a daze, his face full of bewilderment.

Zhuge Liang on the side couldn't bear to see it, and stepped forward to comfort him,

"Captain, Jiangdong's shipbuilding industry is well developed. Although so many ships have been lost, they can still be rebuilt in time."

Zhou Yu raised his head, glanced at him, and smiled wryly,

"Mr. Kong Ming, you are right."

"But even if we rebuild a fleet, so what?"

"It's not just repeating the same mistakes."

Everyone was shocked, but they were all silent.

Yes.

Hua Xiong moved the artillery to the warship, which can be said to have changed the way of water warfare!

With artillery, how could Huaxiong's navy still foolishly play board battle with you?

Wouldn't it be nice to directly use artillery salvos to sink your fleet from a long distance?

Chapter 433 Cao Cao's Empress Dowager

Everyone just felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Since the battle with Huaxiong, they have suffered setbacks everywhere.

Ling Tong died tragically, tens of thousands of troops died in battle, and most of the navy's warships were wiped out.

Is Hua Xiong so invincible?

When everyone was downcast, a messenger hurried over on horseback.

At a distance he cried out,

"Hua Xiong's soldiers and horses are already crossing the river. My lord has ordered you to lead the troops back to Jianye immediately!"

Zhou Yu's heart tightened, and he didn't care about complaining about himself, so he quickly shouted,

"Rectify the army, follow me back to the city!"

Fortunately, the place where the Jiangdong army docked was not far from Jianye City.

After an hour or two of rapid march, Zhou Yu led the team to the south gate of Jianye.

At this moment, the south gate of Jianye was wide open, and countless people with their bags on their backs were escaping from the city in fear.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu thought that Hua Xiong had already entered the city, so he hastened his march again.

Wuhou Mansion.

Zhou Yu went straight in, and was relieved when he saw that Sun Quan and others were discussing military affairs.

"My lord, why did you open the south gate of the city? Aren't you afraid that Hua Xiong's people will sneak into the city?"

Sun Quan smiled wryly,

"Now that we are about to go to war with Hua Xiong, keeping the people in the city will only increase casualties."

"Instead of this, it's better to let them go."

Liu Bei on the side nodded and said,

"That's right, it's Marquis Wu's compassion and benevolence. As for worrying about Hua Xiong's people sneaking into the city, the governor is too worried."

"Now that people are fleeing outside the city, how can anyone want to enter the city?"

When Zhou Yu thought about it, he was right.

At this juncture, if anyone entered the city, it would be too conspicuous.

He was relieved.

"Gongjin came back just in time. We're just about to talk about serious business, so please sit down."

Sun Quan greeted.

Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, Huang Gai, Lu Su and others took their seats one after another.

After listening to Lu Meng and Lu Xun's introduction to the situation of the battle, Zhou Yu's face instantly became ugly.

After Gan Ning's navy defeated Jiangdong's navy and ensured that Jiangdong was temporarily powerless, Hua Xiong's men began to cross the river.

In addition to the [-] troops in Hefei, Zhang Liao's troops stationed by Hua Xiong in Xuzhou had also marched to the battlefield.

By tomorrow morning, there will be 20 enemies outside the city!

20 million!

Thinking about this number, Zhou Yu felt desperate!

At present, there are less than [-] troops in Jianye City.

Even if all the horses in Jiangdong are added up, the number of 20 is probably not there!

Not to mention Hua Xiong's troops in Liangzhou and Wancheng.

How is this fight going?

In the lobby, the atmosphere was exceptionally silent.

Sun Quan smiled wryly,

"Everyone has any opinions, feel free to speak up."

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said,

"My lord, the enemy is powerful, we are invincible, we can only retreat."

Although everyone didn't speak, the expressions on their faces were deeply convinced.

Jianye City has lost its walls. If you defend here with a weak force, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

"That's right, what the governor said makes sense. Let's retreat to the south first to lengthen Huaxiong's front."

"Exchange space for time, and invite Liu Biao, Liu Zhang and others to send troops. There is still hope of winning the battle."

Lu Xun also nodded.

Sun Quan was silent for a long time, then he let out a long sigh,

"You're right, so let's do it."

Zhuge Liang on the side suddenly said,

"The problem is that now that Hua Xiong's army is approaching the city, if there is no army left behind, it may be difficult to escape the pursuit."

If the Jiangdong troops fled in a hurry and were chased by Hua Xiong, they would be defeated in an instant.

Sun Quan knew the seriousness of the matter, his expression was serious,

"I don't know which one of you is willing to stay and stop the enemy?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Who doesn't know that staying here to stop the enemy at this moment can only lead to defeat?

After a while, a loud laugh sounded, but it was Cao Cao who stood up.

he laughed,

"Marquis Wu, I would like to stay and stop the enemy!"

Everyone was stunned, and looked at Cao Cao with astonishment in their eyes.

No one would have imagined that Cao Cao would offer to stay and end his heir.

"Brother Mengde, you are..."

Liu Bei looked at Cao Cao in surprise.

Cao Cao just laughed and said nothing.

Sun Quan took a deep look at Cao Cao and said solemnly,

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Cao, and I will leave another 5000 troops for Mr. Cao."

The order was conveyed quickly, and all the generals took action.

Taking advantage of the gap, Liu Bei walked up to Cao Cao and said in a daze,

"Brother Meng De, why did you stay?"

He really couldn't figure it out.

The task of blocking the enemy is tantamount to death.

And Cao Cao is not from Jiangdong, why should he stay to die?

Cao Cao looked at the Yangtze River in the distance and smiled wryly,

"Xuande, I don't intend to run away."

"For so many years, I have been chased by Hua Xiong and fled here and there. Even the two brothers Yuan Rang and Miao Cai fell into Hua Xiong's hands."

"I'm really fed up, it's better to be vigorous than this!"

Liu Bei was stunned for a while, and then understood Cao Cao's thoughts.

Yes, for so many years, they have faced Hua Xiong repeatedly and failed repeatedly.

They even lost their bases.

It is not surprising that Cao Cao had such an idea.

He patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said in a deep voice,

"Brother Meng De, I can understand you, but I'm not willing to see Hua Xiong being so arrogant."
